Chapter 45 Silence
The wind in the jungle blew, bringing out the solemnity of the sky.
The little jungle was full of people who arrived later.
Hines looked at Pier's body with a cold face, and after a while, he said, "Close, you shouldn't have killed him."
Clos smiled bitterly: "I didn't want to kill him. In fact, I just used the most common impact technique, but I didn't expect..."
"The alchemist has been in the laboratory for a long time, and is associated with various materials such as poison. His body is extremely vulnerable to erosion. It seems that you have ignored this."
Close opened his mouth and wanted to say that he had not ignored this, but in the end he said nothing.
Avril, who had just finished crying, yelled angrily: "Hines, are you willing to come out to see me? Do you actually think that Close shouldn't kill Pier? Yes, I think so too, because he deserves to die ten thousand times!"
"He actually tried to rape the Imperial Princess!" Avril was almost hysterical.
During the days with Gong Hao's company, she seemed very gentle most of the time, but now Gong Hao has been seriously injured for her, she herself is almost in danger of being heartbroken, but it is the first time that she has said something to kill someone for the first time.
Hines's face looked a little ugly.
He was not afraid of Avril. Although he was a dignified imperial princess, he might not take it seriously. It was really embarrassing to try to do something like the princess.
Especially Pierre is different from ordinary people. Hines knows his disciple's hobbies, and his habits are not just...
The bad thing is that it seems that he is not the only one who knows about his habit.
Avril's chief guard, Alexander Padgett, the eighth-level earth warrior, knew something about Pier.
The danger encountered by the princess at this moment made him very annoyed: "Master Hines, if I remember correctly, Pier did such a thing more than twenty years ago. My friend Raschel once caught this bastard with his own hands because he raped and killed at least six girls."
"Oh, my god." Avril exclaimed: "Since that's the case, why is he okay?"
Padgett said helplessly: "Because Pier does have extraordinary talents in the field of alchemy. Master Hines personally pleaded for him, which gave him a chance to survive. Then he followed the master to come here. I thought he would never have the courage to attack the princess, but I didn't expect that he would do this."
Clos sighed: "Long-term depression can sometimes make people's desires break through reason, which is not uncommon."
Hines said in a little confused, "But this is exactly what I don't understand. Princess, why did you come to this jungle at night? How could Pier know that you are here? And Xiuyi, what's wrong with you? Why are you here too?"
Gong Hao replied slowly: "Master, you know that during the time when the princess stayed on Purgatory Island, my main job was to make the princess happy. So I designed a small program for her, in this jungle, enjoy the fun of the bonfire party, and let her feel the natural beauty. In fact, the princess likes it very much."
"This could have been my best night...if that villain hadn't appeared." Avril said angrily.
She is still wearing the apprentice robe given to her by Gong Hao. The torn clothes on the ground have fully confirmed what Pier did. In fact, Hines, who had no time to arrive, could see clearly through the crystal ball, but he was just pretending to be confused at this moment.
"When Piere hit you, why didn't you fight back?"
"Because he is my adult, I cannot attack him. Even if he is invading the princess, I can only stop him, not attack him."
Gong Hao's "humility" made everyone sigh that this child was "duty".
"So how did Pier know you're here?" Hines continued.
Gong Hao shook his head: "I don't know, but now it seems that he may have been prepared for a long time and has set his sights on the princess."
Hines looked at the clothes on the ground and said, "I noticed that Princess, you are wearing maid's clothes. Would he not want to attack you at first?"
"Oh, maid's clothes are just a way for me to increase my fun. If you say Piere just recognized the wrong person, then he later saw my face, why would he rape me?" Avril shouted angrily.
Hines sighed slightly, and he saw this situation. He was not angering Pierre's bastard, but his death brought immeasurable losses to Purgatory Island.
So he could only say, "Yes, princess, I understand. Pier is unforgivable no matter what, but Princess, I hope things can end here. Pier is dead, and I think it is better not to speak up after Princess returns to Winlington."
Avril stared at Hines in disbelief: "Oh my god, Hines, you old guy. Your apprentice once violated the laws of the empire, but you covered him up; he wanted an imperial princess, but you turned a blind eye to me, and then he kept interrogating me here; when the crime was proven, you wanted to let it all end like this? God is above, you actually told me not to tell my father that such a thing happened, you are such an old bastard!"
This was the first time in his life that Hines was called an old bastard. His face turned red and red, but there was no explanation at all.
Perhaps seeing Hines' embarrassment, Gong Hao gently grabbed Avril's hand: "You don't need to be so angry, I believe Master Hines has good intentions."
"You actually spoke for him?" Avril glared at his big, beautiful eyes.
Gong Hao spat a mouthful of blood on the ground calmly.
Avril's heart immediately softened: "Oh, Xiuyi, you are seriously injured. What are you wastes doing? Why don't you bring medicine quickly?"
A large group of people came forward to take medicine to Gong Hao, and the best treatment medicine was poured into Gong Hao like money.
Gong Hao put all the potions into his arms without hesitation, then looked at Avril with affectionate eyes and said, "Avril, do you know that you are the one I care about the most, right?"
"Yes, Xiuyi, I saw you sacrifice your life to protect me. Xiuyi, you really have to care about me."
"Then I hope you can forgive and understand Master Hines, don't be angry, okay?"
"Why? This bastard is holding his student, Pier should have died long ago. And now he is still trying to quibble, shirk responsibility, and even want to hide things from it."
"He just wanted to figure out the situation at first, and it was indeed reasonable to suppress this matter."
"I don't understand, Shuyi, what's the point? Pier should be condemned by the entire empire and judged by the court!"
"In fact, I don't think you think that the Imperial Princess was almost like this and became a joke after dinner in the Lance Empire, right?"
Avril was slightly stagnant.
Yes, if everyone in the whole country knew that she was almost killed by a damn bad uncle, then this kind of scandal would have an extremely adverse impact on her and would also bring shame to the royal family.
Close and Padgett looked at each other, and to be honest, they didn't want this to spread either.
The princess was almost in trouble, and the first thing she suffered was the person responsible for protecting her. Although she sneaked out by herself at that time, people would not consider this way, and would only think that it was the dereliction of duty of the entourage.
Gong Hao said again: "What's more, if you let everyone know that you sneak out and are with an apprentice, what would others think? Of course, those who know understand that I am just taking you to enjoy the moonlight, the bonfire and the beautiful night, but what about those who don't know? They will think we are having a tryst. Rumors will spread everywhere. Maybe Your Majesty will be furious and then order me to be killed. Your entourage will be dismissed, and Master Hines will be punished, and everyone will suffer hardships for it. Do you really hope that? Avril."
"Oh no, Xiuyi, I won't let them do that to you."
"Then listen to me, accept Master Hines's advice and let this matter go. Never tipier again, anyway, he is dead, no one will know how he died. Just say he died of illness."
Avril looked at Gong Hao affectionately and finally nodded: "Okay Xiuyi, I listen to you, you can do whatever you say. You know I don't want you to be implicated, everything you do is to make me happy."
Avril finally agreed to Hines' request, which made everyone feel relieved. His eyes looked at Gong Hao with great gratitude, so he no longer cared about him taking the little princess out for a tryst.
For Gong Hao, the biggest purpose of his doing this is to please Hines on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also gave Bailey an explanation. If Bailey knew that he had just given Gong Hao information about Pier two months ago, Pier died because of trying to the princess, and Gong Hao was present at that time, I was afraid he would have guessed something.
And now, if Pier died of illness, he could not doubt Gong Hao.
In Bailey's eyes, Gong Hao is a poor man who secretly discovered the secret of death on Purgatory Island, and then worked hard to please his master, trying to live for a while. All he wanted was to use the poor man's hand to fight for himself enough benefits.
If he had let him know that this "poor bug" was thinking about how to fight back from beginning to end, he would not dare to move it if he was given a mountain of gold.
Of course, there is another advantage in the end, that is, the solution is so silent that the people of the Imperial Law and Political Department will not intervene in the investigation. After all, a major event like a princess cannot not prevent the hunting dogs from paying attention. And they are not as experienced as warriors and magicians.
These hunting dogs are definitely not easy to fool. They can find many names just from the cause of Pier's death.
Fortunately, this is not the mainland, so the Legal Affairs Bureau will not easily reach here.
Leaving Pier's body to the servants for handling, Avril walked to Hines in a angrily voice: "Old man, you better remember for me that your students are bad enough to destroy you. If you hadn't had a good apprentice, then I can guarantee that my father's anger would burn the entire Purgatory Island to ashes!"
Hines had no face to deal with it, so he could only leave in shame.
Faced with the arrogant and domineering imperial princess and now extremely angry, even the great alchemist who relied heavily on the imperial emperors could only choose to give in.
Clos patted Gong Hao's shoulder and said, "I should have scolded you for not taking the princess out, but now I think about it, it's not your fault. You are just making the princess as happy as possible. In fact, you have defended the princess' chastity with your own life, but what I really want to thank is that you convinced His Highness the princess to make her decide not to report this matter. Good boy, for this point, you can ask me questions if you have any questions about magic. This time you don't have to pass the princess again, I will definitely answer questions."
The earth warrior Padget looked at Lancelot, who was in the distance, who was lively but never spoken, and then said to Gong Hao: "I heard that guy taught you some ways of practicing samurai, but he doesn't seem to be a good teacher, otherwise you shouldn't be beaten so miserably by Pier. I think you know that knowledge and educational ability are sometimes not equal. It is not that the students taught by samurai at the Sacred Realm level must be the strongest students in the world. How much strength the teachers have may not be important to the students, what is important is how much he can teach them. That stingy and selfish guy almost killed you because of his stingy. If you want, you can ask me for advice. Like Klos, I will answer questions and answer questions."
A high-level magician and a high-level warrior handed him a friendly olive branch, probably not only because he convinced Avril for them, but more importantly, they found that the blond boy had an unparalleled influence on the princess.
With Avril's temperament, after encountering such a thing, even her most respected mother might not be able to persuade her not to report the matter. The reason why she was willing to agree not to report the emperor was probably because Gong Hao said, "I will be unlucky too." In order not to let Gong Hao be implicated, Avril finally suppressed this tone. As a result, Gong Hao did not follow him, but Close and Padgett were lucky to escape. Of course, Hines was also lucky.
For Clos and Padgett, if they could no longer see the importance of having sex with Shu Iglare, they would no longer have to hang out in the treacherous and dangerous officialdom.
People who are in the officialdom always understand one truth is not to be opponents of the strong, but to be friends with them.
Here, the meaning of a strong person is not just about force, but also about other aspects. For example, Shuiglair, he is now a strong person in a sense.
After hearing Padget's words, Lancelot snorted coldly and left. In terms of the ability to educate his apprentice, the long-standing Lancelot is indeed impossible to compare with the world-famous Padget. Even if the three or five Padgets are combined, it is not his opponent, but the abilities required to educate his apprentice are indeed different from his personal strength.
With Padgett instructing Gong Hao, then Gong Hao no longer has to worry about making any mistakes on the road of samurai practice.
The people brought by Avril were pleasing Gong Hao, and Andrew looked at Pier's body with extremely complicated eyes and finally let out a long sigh. This sigh was both for Pier and for himself. For many years, he had been pressed by Pier and had no day to stand out.
Now that Pier is dead, Hines has lost one of his best assistants, and he will be the real second master of Purgatory Island in the future. This makes him a little happy and a little melancholy.
What is happy is that his status has risen, but what is melancholy is that he did not strive to achieve it through his hard work.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Gong Hao again. If nothing unexpected happens, this kid seems to be taking over his position.
He was so brave that in less than two years he jumped from a lowest servant to become a celebrity around the princess and was about to become the third person on Purgatory Island.
When he thought of the spiritual seeds in Gong Hao's body, he felt conflicted again.
Should we find a way to thoroughly study the method of removing the spirit seeds so that Shu Iglare can truly escape death? But if he knew the truth about the spirit seeds, would he still support himself and his mentor as always?
Without the spiritual seed, losing the greatest control over him will be equivalent to releasing a terrible opponent?
But if he could accept and become a teacher from now on, with his wisdom, he would probably crack the puzzles of alchemy as soon as possible, and then the days when he left Purgatory Island would not be far away.
Survival? Or death?
Andrew was like Hamlet, and he couldn't find the answer either.
As for Isadora, when she saw the maid's costumes on that place, she might be the only person who doubted all of this. But when she saw Avril looking at Gong Hao affectionately and the cold warning eyes that Gong Hao sent him, she immediately realized that maybe shutting up was her best choice.
In fact, she did not have any evidence to prove that this was a conspiracy. After all, even she herself could not determine what was going on. Telling the fact that Pier might be coming for her may not prove anything, but it will definitely cause trouble for herself.
Her wisdom paid off.
Afterwards, Harem Hao gave her several bottles of charm potion. Shortly after returning to Winlington, the girl found an earl and married her and became a countess. Pier's affairs were completely left behind by the countess.
I said two things: First, I overslept again today, so I updated it late, sorry.
2: Are you here, Ma Beitian? I'm here, Long Kong, and I've read the posts, and I have no objection to the articles you posted and the hope of posting other things about me. The problem is that I can't reply to Long Kong's evil replies system that I hate.
So I've been saying hello to you in the book until now.
